You have to setup the excludes to match the transfer method you're
using. In the case of rsync I believe they must be relative to the
backup root.
Here's a snippet from my config. Since I mainly backup home
directories I exclude stuff like cache and other folder that don't
need to be backed up.
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'*' => [
'.cache',
'.thumbnails',
'.gvfs',
'.xsession-errors',
'.recently-used.xbel',
'.recent-applications.xbel',
'.Private',
'.mozilla'
]
};
Notice there are no '/' on the front of my excludes. Until I setup
things like this my excludes didn't work.
